Redirecting to a domain with keywords but keeping own name site on business cards etc

I have a website where the client didn't really know exactly where her business was going to go when she started. As a result she decide to use her own name as the domain. Now she has much more clarity. I was able to pick up a couple of good domain names with keywords. I'd like to redirect "hername.com" to "keywords.com". Ideally she'd like to continue to use her current web address and email address on her business cards and stationary but I'm not sure this is a good idea. Would this be confusing? Or is it a bad idea for other reasons? or does it not make a difference? I think the reason is that her card or stationary will probably be going to people she already has some connection with. Thanks for you insight. Amy

The only issue I can see here is that when people go to hername.com... it may be confusing when it changes to keywords.com... it may look spammy - UNLESS keywords.com has the same exact layout (especially the same header and title) as the last site.

Does she have the option of both? She could use the old site for existing clients and the new one for potential clients, etc?

Either way, it's probably not a big issue if the site stays the same.

OR - another option is to change it to the new address, send out a mailing or something telling her clients that the URL has changed.

I think that she's got some options, and it shouldn't matter much either way.
